"During his visit to the school, President Medvedev spoke with the school's students, including [ReactOS'] Marat Karatov. Marat made a short presentation of the latest build of ReactOS, including system boot up and running a few Windows-compatible applications. During conversation with the president, Marat said that the OS was ready approximately for 80% of real world usage and that roughly one million euros would be needed to complete its development within a year. 'This is an interesting project indeed', was President Medvedev's response."

It's incredible to see that some one as important as Medvedev now knows about ReactOS, a hobby O.S. and it's incredible also to see what could be the consequences of a donation from a millionaire to such a project... A free win32 O.S. given away to the whole world...And legally :-)
